Forbes has just released their celebrity rich list for 2017, and while Sean Combs (aka Diddy) took out the number one spot, last year’s pole position winner took a radical dive, coming in at 49th.
Before we give you the details of who took the hit, we want to reveal that Diddy – the rapper-turned-businessman – made a sweet $130 million over the past year. While Diddy did sell a one-third stake in his Sean John clothing line, his overall earn which included an arena tour, broke down to more than a cool $10 million a month.
So while Puff Daddy – as he was known earlier in his career – is at the top spot, last year’s high roller, Taylor Swift has dropped to 49th.
